I don't know but I would guess of hospitalized cases, which would be the serious ones.
edit : yes hospitalized.

Heard yesterday that my friend and work colleague's mum is in hospital with Covid. Don;t know how bad she is but I suspect its very not good. Her mum isnt elderly, she's only in her early 60s, but has lung problems.
I dont know when Clo last saw her mum face to face before this - she was at the hospital last I heard. I am worried for her, because of her mum, obviously, but I am also worried about Clo herself - her asthma gets quite bad sometimes.

That's got tragedy written all over it. Dana, I'm sorry to hear about this, please give my best to your friend and her mom. From a safe distance of course, but the distance itself is an additional problem. Sorry.

I was talking to a guy in Texas today and he was telling me he was trying to figure out how to access a vent on his roof. When I told him to be careful he said no problem he has medicare if he gets hurt. I reminded him a hospital is the very last place you want to be right now.

Legit question; When should we know whether Sweden's plan is working? Since folks are turning it into a hammer for their own agendas. I'd like to see a list of the actual measures taken along with the societal factors which make them similar or dissimilar to us. I guess it all hangs on herd immunity...
Maybe the Brits save our ass here. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/mee...icacy-n1198946 Nature magazine is publishing blurbs for short attention span or sensible people who don't want to obsess. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-00502-w

For us to acquire herd immunity without a vaccine would require 70% of the population to get sick in a short period of time.

Yeah, I believe that's what Sweden is attempting? Obviously you'd need a functional healthcare system and an effective way to isolate the old and infirm. Otherwise you get: https://www.wwlp.com/news/local-news...-19-pass-away/

To the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody:
Coronavirus Rhapsody March 19, 2020 by Jonco Lyrics by Dana Jay Bein Is this a sore throat? Is this just allergies? Caught in a lockdown No escape from reality. Don’t touch your eyes Just hand sanitize quicklyyyyy I’m just a poor boy, no job security Because of easy spread, even though washed your hands, laying low I look out the window, the curve doesn’t look flatter to me, to me mama, i just killed a man didn’t stay inside in bed walked by him and now he’s dead mama, life was so much fun but now I’ve caught this unforgiving plague mama, oooooh didn’t mean to make them die if I’m not back to work this time tomorrow carry on, carry on as if people didn’t matter oo late, my time has come sends shivers down my spine body’s aching all the time goodbye everybody, I’ve got the flu gotta leave you all behind and face the truth mama, oooooh I don’t wanna die I sometimes wish I never went out at all I see a little silhouette of a man what a douche, what a douche did he even wash his hands though security is tightening very very frightening me Gotta lay low (gotta lay low) Gotta lay low (gotta lay low) Gotta lay low masturbate Masturbate O O O O I’m just a poor boy, facing mortality HE’S JUST A POOR BOY FACING MORTALITY spare him his life from this monstrosity Touch your face, wash your hands, will you wash your hands? BISMILLAH NO WE WILL NOT WASH OUR HANDS! (WASH YOUR HANDS!) BISMILLAH NO WE WILL NOT WASH OUR HANDS! (WASH YOUR HANDS) BISMILLAH WE WILL NOT WASH YOUR HANDS! (WASH YOUR HANDS!) WASH YOUR HANDS! (never, never, never wash your hands oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) No no no no no Oh mama mia, mia (mama mia wash your hands!) COVID-19 has a sickness put aside for me, for me So you think you can stop me and just shake my hand? So you think we can hang out and not break our plans? Oh baby, can’t do this with me, baby, Just gotta stay home, just gotta stay home with my fever oooooh Curving can get flatter Anyone can see Curving can get flatter Curving can get flatter, you’ll see Just look out your windows….

I suppose some new art will come out of this social isolation thing. As well as some rethinking of classic artwork:
